Our Automotive solutions
The rise of electric vehicles and the pursuit of sustainability are two trends influencing the role of sensors in the automotive industry. Enhancing electric motor performance and efficiency, advancements to battery life, improving the environmental footprint of internal combustion engines and driving safety features are just some of the areas where sensor and motion control technology continues to innovate and add value. Many of these sensors operate in rough and harsh environments that involve extreme temperatures, vibrations and exposure to environmental contaminants and so it is essential they are designed to withstand these stresses.
